cargo generate-license

A cargo subcommand that generates LICENSE files.

This is a fork of Azo's license-generator. I've only tweaked some minor things. The reason for this fork is because I wanted to have the command be namespaced under cargo rather than standing on its own. All credit to them for creating the original project.

Install with Cargo:

~~~console cargo install cargo-generate-license ~~~

~~~ $ cargo generate-license --author [LICENSE_TYPE]
